We had a very good break at East Lane Barn. The barn was very comfortable and extremely clean and spacious. We loved the fire on the cold rainy late afternoons and evenings. My only issue was access. The information before arrival did not say that you had to pass through the garden of the property next door to find the door to the barn. There was nobody in the adjacent cottage but I would not have liked walking right past their living space had there been holiday makers in there as there were very large glass patio doors to walk past. A bit of a shame really.
